If you ever want to get away from the city, there's always Tagaytay (1-2 hour drive from Manila) to…read moreanswer your "where to next question". Whenever a roadtrip down south to Tagaytay is mentioned, bulalo (beef stew) and coffee automatically comes to mind. But, a visit to Bawai's will change your Tagaytay itinerary forever. For starters, this hidden gem is the brainchild of a Filipino-Vietnamese couple, who want to share with the world their love for good vietnamese food, so they put up a restaurant and named it Bawai which means grandmother. When you plan to visit, be sure to call ahead and reserve a table because the place gets packed easily. Everything on the menu is a treat, but, my usual staple order is the fresh springrolls (Goi Cuon) as well as the Vietnamese hot coffee (Ca phe Sua Nong) and their tamarind prawn shrimps.

The highlights were the crispy chicken skin with salted egg and the luscious mushroom soup. However the other dishes stood on their own, like the Asian salad with roasted sesame dressing, pork belly cha shu, and Kim chi rice. Their attempts at American fare were less successful but even then, not bad - namely the pizzas and potato chips.

The squid ink pasta is a favorite with the pasta cooked al dente. The tamarind chicken is reminiscent of Thai cooking. While the kimchi pork belly ... well, that sounds Korean to me. And then they have the papaya salad which tastes like the Filipino atchara. I don't really care if it's Italian, Thai or Korean. All I care about is it gives me satisfaction every time I dine there.

The restaurant is really clean and we were served water and hot tea upon seating. [the food] -hot and sour soup (100 peso) loved it! Rich and sour this soup came with a lot of veggies -soup dumpling and xio mai was on point! Loved that they also gave fresh calamansi as a side -almond pudding mango sago- my favorite! The pudding is a nice touch to the flavorful mango. -fresh calamansi juice is refreshing! Overall, this place was super tasty! The price was super cheap! All the food came out to 680 pesos which is about 13 US dollars. Would definitely come back if I'm ever at this mall in Tagaytay again!

The first morning I had silog with tamarind chicken and pork asada, and lots of crispy Danggit! The congee was amazing! U added every topping possible plus fresh calamansi juice! Also had lychee chia pudding one morning and blueberry the next. The lycée was absolutely delicious! We consumed heaps of the most delicious dragon fruit. Now onto the pastries!! One morning they had bread and butter pudding squares and the other morning they had taisan bread. Both were so scrumptious!! Our server Harven was a delight! Friendly, got us warm milk, and answered my 6 million questions! We also took pictures in the back patio that overlooked Laguna de Bay. Beautiful views in every direction. They also had pineapple and mango jam! New jam flavors to me that were delicious on my cream cheese filled French toast. My husband also tries the miso ramen and the fresh salad with a great sesame dressing. In other words, we ate everything, everyone was so friendly and the views are incredible.

Though it operates as a rooftop bar and restaurant, they also offer buffet breakfast for in-house guests. FOOD: 3/5 The overall food selection was quite limited, primarily a mix of Filipino, American, Chinese and other International dishes. The food was decent but could have been better overall. SERVICE: 5/5 I noticed that most of the servers were male while a few female staff at the food counter. Regardless, all of them were attentive, polite, and efficient. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Being at the rooftop, the restaurant provides a full view of the city. I can only imagine how much more stunning these views at night with the city lights. It also features a mini pool - not for use but aesthetically for decor which I believe needs a little polishing and renovation. Overall, the buffet breakfast at The Nest did its job - it fill us up in the morning, though I wished there was a wider selection. And I take my hats off to the staff at The Nest - their service were on point!

Rosa is becoming a foodie destination! Good but not that great. Vietnamese food is characterized by freshness and simplicity- a delicious excuse to eat your veggies! Bawai's is a healthier option when eating out. Enjoyed their salads and fresh rolls more than the mains. The coconut sprout salad aka Bawai's Salad won me over. Pho Bo was too oily and lacking that herbal kick of cilantro. They don't serve it with fresh basil nor bean sprouts. Salmon and chicken are forgettable. Not a fan of pork but was told by my tablemates it was amazingly tender. A bit on the pricey side for what you're getting but service is spot on. Food comes out fairly fast even about 3/4 of their tables were occupied. Weird restroom door made of frosted glass. I wouldn't use the loo there if I were you.

You have to have a lot of trust in your driver when you visit the PH because they can fit their vehicles into some crazy small spaces lol the restaurant is located in a rural area which is what made the little driving adventure all the more fascinating because you have no idea what's around you or where you are anymore but once you arrive it's like you've been transported to a completely different place than the area you just drove through. As soon as we arrived we were led to this beautiful outdoor area to wait on our table. It had a full bar and restrooms but I want to say the outdoor waiting area was my favorite part of the restaurant it was stunning and a perfect place for drinks before dinner. There is a pretty strict dress code so do your research before hand so you have no issues upon arrival. The food is on the pricier side but that's to be expected given the ambiance and the quality of everything they serve. The staff and their service was impeccable. From the moment we parked and walked to the outdoor area we were waited on and served. The staff is very attentive and quick to cater to your every need. We ordered so much I can't remember the name of every dish but everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend Antonio's for special occasions.

We decided to have a light dinner here and had their sisig dish which was a pork based stir fry with some peppers, sugars and other condiments that mixes well with the rice and other condiments. This was very tasty and perfect for our dinner menu. We also had their grilled Tanigue which was perfectly cooked, not burnt and not stale, which brought out the taste of the fish. They also served rice to complement these dishes, it was a perfect and complementary carb for us to enjoy what we call a light dinner. For dessert, we had their Halo-Halo, which was made perfectly well and included a cacophony of sweetened beans, sago and many other little combinations which encapsulated a summer cooking food for our palates. So, if you're in Tagaytay, you can't go wrong on Gerry's Grille, they do deliver the best food, in this part of the Philippines!

While not every dish was a standout, the overall quality and service made it worth the visit. We tried the Pancit Canton, Caldereta, Lumpia Shanghai, Chicken Kebabs, and Pork Adobo Fried Rice. The Pancit Canton was excellent--more on the saucy side, which I like better than the drier style. The Pork Adobo Fried Rice was easily one of the best dishes of the night, with tender, well-seasoned pork and perfectly cooked rice. The Chicken Kebabs were another highlight, featuring a wonderful grilled, charred smokiness that really elevated the dish. The Lumpia Shanghai was solid--crispy and well-seasoned--but it wasn't a standout compared to the other dishes. The only minor disappointment was the Caldereta, which had a good sauce and flavor, but they left the bones in the dish, and some of the meat was a bit gristly. I know leaving the bones in is more of a preference issue for me because some people like the bones left in. Despite the minor letdown with the Caldereta, I'd definitely return for the quick service and overall great food. If you're craving Filipino classics in a casual setting, Gerry's at Nuvali is a great choice!
